Uncaught exception - Invalid field access : objects

Hi! I'm new to Haxe and HaxeFlixel, so everything is not clear for me.
So, currently I am following the game tutorial on the Docs page. I finished doing the part 6 - Loading the Tilemap, and when I run lime test neko, it opens the game but when I click the start button, the game crashes and the console shows the following errors:

Uncaught exception - Invalid field access : objects

In PlayState.hx, at line 32 is the following code:
for (e in tmpMap.objects)
{
placeEntities(e.name, e.xmlData.x);
}

Can someone help?

I'm on Linux, using VSCode.

You might have a mistake in your code somewhere. The tutorial shows 2 options for loading the tilemap. Make sure to use the correct code depending whether you use Ogmo or Tiled to create your tilemap.

or, there could be a mistake in your created tilemap? The map data room-001.oel for the demo is here

@dean Yeah, I had mistyped the layer name. Now, I got a new error. It is the same but the last line is Uncaught exception - Invalid field access : length

Any ideas?

That tutorial causes confusion because it includes two ways to create the map. If you're using FlxOgmoLoader map then you don't need that loop.

From tutorial section 6:

TiledMap does not have a built-in loadEntities() function, so for that you'll need to change this to:

for (e in tmpMap.objects)
{
    placeEntities(e.name, e.xmlData.x);
}

But unless you're using FlxTileMap to create the map you dont need that.
If you're using FlxOgmoLoader , make sure to ignore the change this to ... for Tiled parts.

There's a link to the completed project on the Conclusion page of the tutorial where you can check the code.
